Indian Mutton Curry With Beetroot / Chukandar Gosht

Chukandar gosht, the blissful marriage of mutton with gorgeous beetroots, a beautiful amalgamation of flavours and a hearty meat stew that will amuse every heart and soul. This a slow cooked meat stew or curry as usually called in Indian parlance, flavoured with aromatic spices. The beetroots imparts a ravishng color to the dish and infuses its own earthy flavour to the dish. Meat dishes cooked this way are unquestionably delectable in every sense of the word.

Cooking meat dishes with root vegetables are great way to enhance the flavours of meat stew and also it encourages one to eat vegetables that are generally frowned upon. Beetroots are one such understated vegetable, liked by very few. Even in my family beets are not very likable vegetable, specially in curries. We prefer it in salads and soups and sometimes I do make that crunchy and crispy street food version of beetroot chop. But that is not certainly a way to show love to beetroot. My vegan chocolate beetroot browniesand beetroot ketchupare huge success with my family.

And now this mutton stew with beetroots. Cooking mutton with root vegetables was very common in my family, and having been grown up in hills, we had developed a sort of admiration for all kinds of root vegetables, specially when they were slow cooked with mutton or chicken.

I make this mutton curry two ways, sometimes with beet alone or sometimes with beet and turnips (shalgam gosht). Both are delectable in their own rights. But this chukandar gosht , the beetroots definitely stole our heart away with its ravishing rich look. It simply looks gorgeous and appetizing. Serve it over bed of steamed basmati and you can taste heaven.
